Paperback. Condizione: Good. A series of poems on the complexities of relationships between parents and children, the desires of the body and its frailties, the distinctions between memory and history, and the hope of art to recapture these seemingly inscrutable realities. Mazur's poems imply that life, with all its losses and triumphs is far richer and more metaphorical than poetry can aspire to be.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. from ?Mount Fuji? A draughtsman?s draughtsman, Hokusai at 70 thought he?d begun to grasp the structures   of birds and beasts, insects and fish, of the way plants grow, hoped that by 90 he?d havepenetrated to their essential nature.   And more, by 100, I will have reached the stagewhere every dot, every mark I make will bealive. You always loved that resolve, you?d repeat   joyfully?Hokusai?s utterance of faith in work?s possibilities, its reward, that, at 130, he?d perhaps have learned to draw.   Gail Mazur?s poems in Forbidden City  build an engaging meditative structure upon the elements of mortality and art, eloquently contemplating the relationship of art and life?and the dynamic possibilities of each in combination. At the collection?s heart is the poet?s long marriage to the artist Michael Mazur (1935?2009). A fascinating range of tone infuses the book?grieving, but clear-eyed rather than lugubrious, sometimes whimsical, even comical, and often exuberant. The note of pleasure, as in an old tradition enriched by transience, runs through the work, even in the final poem, ?Grief,? where ?our ravenous hold on the world? is a powerful central element.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. From Enormously Sad.Sad, so sad - compared to what? To your earlier more oblivious state? It never was oblivious enough - always those presentiments of sadness prickling the limbic. Now a voice says, Get outside yourself, go walk on the flats. The tide's gone out - but your little metal detector will detect little metallic coins of enormous sadness in the teeming wet sand, and then, the tide will come back, erasing, cleansing! And you, standing there in the salty scouring air - will you still be enormously sad, While the other world, outside your tiny purview, struck by iron, reels? World of intentional iron, pure savage organized iron of the world, it hasn't the time that you have for your puny enormous sadness. Gail Mazur's mastery of narrative and meditative verse pervades "Zeppo's First Wife", which includes twenty-two new poems as well as excerpts from all of Mazur's four previous books. Epitomized by the worldly longing of the title poem, with its comic bravura and underlying poignancy, the new poems resonate throughout the collection, particularly with the earliest poem included here, the much-anthologized "Baseball," a stunning bird's-eye view of human foibles and passions. Her poems, deeply moving acts of empathy, give the feel of contemporary life, full of paradoxical griefs and desires - from the fraught, luscious Eden of the baseball park and the fragility of our closest human ties to the moral implications for America in a world where power and wars are cataclysmic for the weak as well as the strong. Pushing the stylistic envelope of the contemporary meditative lyric, Mazur's poetry crackles with linguistic invention, enacting the process of coming to terms with difficulty - a task she executes on behalf of us all with rare imagination, wit, and intelligence.…
